Virtual phone numbers in Canada

The main practical fact about Canadian numbers here is the paperwork: for calls and for SMS there is none. Voice and SMS numbers in Canada are sold with no documents required. You do not submit a passport scan, a proof of address or a certificate of incorporation. That single difference changes the ordering process more than any feature does, because document checks are normally the slowest part of it.

The exception is toll-free. A Canadian toll-free number does require a full document set, which is described further down. So the answer to “what do I need to provide” depends entirely on which of the three types you buy.

Coverage: 40 codes for calls, 40 for SMS

Canada shares country code +1 with the United States, but the selection here is much narrower and more concentrated: 40 codes for voice and 40 for SMS. Each code covers a group of towns. A sample of what is on the list:

• 613 — Ottawa, Kingston, Cornwall, Belleville, Brockville, Smiths Falls
• 289 — Hamilton, Mississauga, Markham, Brampton, Oshawa, Burlington, Niagara Falls
• 226 — Kitchener-Waterloo, London, Guelph, Windsor, Sarnia, Brantford, Stratford
• 778 — Vancouver, Victoria, Richmond, Nanaimo, Prince George, Whistler
• 236 — Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Kelowna, Cranbrook, Penticton, Fort St John
• 825 — Fort McMurray, Airdrie, Camrose, Canmore
• 581 — Quebec, Levis, Chicoutimi, Rimouski, Gaspe, Riviere-du-Loup
• 819 — Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres, Gatineau, Hull, Magog, Val-d Or
• 902 — Halifax, Charlottetown, Sydney, Summerside, Yarmouth, Antigonish
• 705 — Sudbury, Barrie, Peterborough, North Bay, Sault Ste Marie, Orillia

Several codes overlap on the same cities: Kelowna and Aldergrove appear under both 778 and 236, Alliston under both 705 and 249, Gatineau under both 819 and 873. When two codes reach the same city, either will work, so pick on availability rather than on the digits. The list also includes two entries meant for registration on online services: one that handles calls and SMS, and an SMS-only entry grouped with Calgary, Medicine Hat and Red Deer.

Prices

Voice numbers have a flat setup fee of 30 USD and cost 15 to 30 USD per month. SMS numbers cost 25 to 30 USD to set up and the same 15 to 30 USD per month. There is no cheap end of the Canadian range: the monthly floor is 15 USD for both types. That flat structure is easy to budget for, and a permanent virtual number is the sensible way to hold it. For receiving text messages only, see SMS numbers.

Toll-free is limited to two prefixes

Only 877 and 888 are offered as toll-free numbers in Canada, at 50 USD setup and 30 USD per month. If you wanted a specific other toll-free prefix, it is not in the Canadian catalogue. Toll-free also carries the document requirement that local and SMS numbers do not: full name, contact phone number, passport or national ID, postal address and proof of address, plus company name and certificate of incorporation for a business. Both individuals and companies may apply.

Who Canadian numbers suit

Two groups. First, buyers outside Canada who cannot easily supply identity documents, since the voice and SMS options do not ask for any. Second, businesses that want a presence in one market — an Ottawa line, a Vancouver line, a Halifax line — without an office there. Activation is not immediate even without documents, so allow time after ordering. Other destinations are listed on the countries page.
